I have not really delved that deeply into the dark depths of the menu stuff to understand how everything works, but.... With things making a transition to the freedesktop XDG menu specifications, you have some stuff in /etc/menu-methods and /etc/xdg that define how the menus will show up. two relevant package there are menu and menu-xdg, which you could try forcing a purge of and reinstall them using the same method as described in my previous message. To go along with that you have another package named desktop-file-utils which you could try purging and reinstalling. I am thinking that gnome generates it's menu dynamicly from the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications there should be a file there named session-properties.desktop and another named gnome-screensaver-properties.desktop. You might try opening a terminal window and typing: locate session-properties.desktop locate gnome-screensaver-properties.desktop : To see if these files exist and where they are located. One interesting thing is that the description of desktop-file-utils shows there being a desktop-menu-tool for manipulating desktop files, but looking at the installed files there doesn't appear to be any such utility. This is on debian unstable, but I am thinking this is probably the same for stable and testing as well. I'm guessing whatever exists or is being built to allow for menu editing in Gnome probably relies on this missing desktop-menu-tool.
